A young man 'phoned me last week to try to sell me an investment [I suspect that it was illegal as his firm is not FSA-registered and I don't believe I gave permission for it to 'phone me but I couldn't *prove* it] and sent me his brochure by email then 'phoned back today. I had a genuine excuse that I was waiting for an important business call so he said he'd 'phone back this evening which gave me time to read the brochure. It assumed all the cattle in the world lived in feed-lots for Chicago slaughterhouses instead of eating grass in fields, it implied that grain prices rose at the same time as harvest yields, it got the politics of the country diametrically inverted ...
When he 'phoned this evening I told him it was junk and he made the mistake of asking why. When I got to my seventh point, he gave up.
